T

he vision of waking up and seeing

cottonwool scattered all across the

floor of my childhood bedroom is a

memory I hold exceptionally close to my

heart. The thought that The Easter Bunny

had been in the same room as me gave

me an immense feeling of joy and pride,

with the pure excitement of knowing that I

would have an Easter basket filled with eggs

and chocolate treats to devour for the next

week’s breakfast, lunch and dinner. There

are some things in life that are created just

for fun, and so this issue is dedicated to

the family as the recipes + fun issue.

As a closet chocoholic, I couldn’t resist our

“makeover” recipe, Chocolate Cupcakes

with Jaffa Icing (p61). Yes, it’s true – you can

eat chocolate cake without the guilt trip!

Swinging from one sweet fix to the next,

the brownie feature (p24) scored massive

satisfaction points around recipes +

headquarters when the team was in need

of a little afternoon sugar hit. Also, this

time of the year just wouldn’t be complete

without a fish pie, so check out our fabulous

family recipes (p14) that certainly deliver.

To carry on the fun, I’m off to scatter a little

cottonwool of my own around my son

Orlando’s bedroom and my office floor, then

sit back and decide which chocolate egg to

eat first! Now, take charge of your own fun

and hop into the joy of life – and chocolate –

before it passes you by!
